Uncertainty, hazards, and limited availability of rescuers all impact the ability to save lives. Now a day in high crowded securable area we are using the Balloon Surveillance system which is not controllable and it cannot be given clear view in particular place. This paper introduces the aspects of disaster areas that make them so challenging. The use of Quad copter system as a risk management tool for human rescuers is introduced. Using Graphical user interface (GUI), the RDP transmits the control signal to the Quad copter. This system monitoring the areas using sensors unit and camera module to record and transmit data to the computer. This video is lively telecast in the securable website through IP TV protocol. The main objective of this Paper is to rescue more & more number of people from the adverse condition.

rotors are driven by a motor to produce a thrust and thus making flight possible.Fig1 shows the Quad copter hardware. Research and development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)and microaerial vehicle(MAV) are getting high encouragement nowadays, since the application of UAV and MAV can apply to variety of area such as rescue mission, military, filmmaking, agriculture and others. Quad copter or quadrotor aircraftisone of the UAV that is major focuses of active researches in recent years. Compare to terrestrial mobile robot that often possible to limit the model to kinematics, Quad copter required dynamics in order to account for gravity effect and aerodynamic forces. Quad copter operated by thrust that produce by four motors that attached to it body. It has four input force and six output states(x,y,z,θ, ψ,ω) and it is an under actuated system, since this enable Quad copter to carry more load.

I. INTRODUCTION Regardless of their cause, human or natural, disaster areas all share a number of characteristics:  There is uncertainty about the extent and degree of damage.  The initial response to the disaster is limited to only those local rescue assets that have survived the incident.  There are many hazards in the area, whose location and nature are unknown. For the last few decades, robots are becoming very popular and common in military organizations. One tool becoming available to first responders in a disaster area is robotics. Robots have had some limited use in disaster response, most notably the responses led by the Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue (CRASAR) at the University of South Florida. However, rescue robots have still not been widely accepted by human rescuers. A quad copter is a multi-rotor helicopter that is lifted and propelled by four rotors. They are classified as rotorcraft, as opposed to fixed-wing aircraft, because their lift is generated by a set of rotors (vertically oriented propellers).They have been in existence from earlier since 1920, Ohemichen by the US air force. More recently quad copter designs have become popular in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) research. These vehicles use an electronic control system and electronic sensors to stabilize the aircraft. With their small size and agile man euverability, these quad copters can be flown indoors as well as outdoors. The four

Second part is the Quad copter unit consisting of RF receiver, copter control circuit, Rotor model and also having a wireless camera and RF AV transmitter. III. QUAD COPTER MODEL Fig3: Schematic of Quad copter. In this paper the frame of Quad copter is build using aluminum plate. It is two layer of shape aluminum plate and connects together with bolts and nuts as this will make the frame of the Quad copter become rigid and light-weight. Less weight will increase over ability of it with minimum power consumption. This Quad copter frame consist of aluminum area that just enough to place all the parts such as motor, controller board and batteries. Fig 4 shows Quad copter frame.

using a Z80 and 8085 is expensive. Both 8085 and Z80 system need some additional circuits to make a microprocessor system. Each part carries costs of money. Even though a product design may require only very simple system, the parts needed to make this system as a low cost product. The microcontroller contains full implementation of a standard MICROPROCESSOR, ROM, RAM, I/0, CLOCK, TIMERS, and also SERIAL PORTS. Microcontroller also called "system on a chip" or "single chip microprocessor system" or "computer on a chip".AT89C51 is the 40 pins, 8 bit Microcontroller manufactured by Atmel group. It is the flash type reprogrammable memory. Advantage of this flash memory is we can erase the program within few minutes. It has 4kb on chip ROM and 128 bytes internal RAM and 32 I/O pin as arranged as port 0 to port 3 each has 8 bit bin .Port 0 contain 8 data line(D0-D7) as well as low order address line(AO-A7). In our proposal microcontroller is used to operate the Relay circuit by given input signal. The input signal is givenby PC using visual basic software. The input signal likes a LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen is an electronic display module and find a wide range of applications. A 16x2 LCD display is very basic module and is very commonly used in various devices and circuits. These modules are preferred over seven segments and other multi segment LEDs. The reasons being: LCDs are economical; easily programmable; have no limitation of displaying special & even custom characters (unlike in seven segments), animations and so on. VI. RELAY

Fig. 4: Quad Copter Frame To produce optimal performance of the Quad copter, weight and thrust output of each motor use dare calculated by using the motor calculation software provided by Motrolfly. These are obtained through key in the parameters of motor, power source and propeller size.

Current flowing through the coil of the relay creates a magnetic field which attracts a lever and changes the switch contacts. The coil current can be on or off so relays have two switch positions and they are double throw (changeover) switches. Relays allow one circuit to switch a second circuit which can be completely separate from the first. The coil of a relay passes a relatively large current, typically 30mA for a 12V relay, but it can be as much as 100mA for relays designed to operate from lower voltages. Most ICs (chips) cannot provide this current and a transistor is usually used to amplify the small IC current to the larger value required for the relay coil. The maximum output current for the popular 555 timer IC is 200mA so these devices can supply relay coils directly without amplification.

VII. RDP ARCHITECTURE

A microcontroller is a complete microprocessor system built on a single IC. Microcontrollers were developed to meet a need for microprocessors to be put into low cost products. Building a complete microprocessor system on a single chip substantially reduces the cost of building simple products, which use the microprocessor's power to implement their function, because the microprocessor is a natural way to implement many products. This means the idea of using a microprocessor for low cost products comes up often. But the typical 8-bit microprocessor based system, such as one

RDP Work station is composed of a pure HTML5-based client that connects via HTTP/s to the machine where RDP should be installed. When the end user access the RDP main page and enters the appropriate connection parameters, the Web Client connects to the RDP Work station using Ajax and Web Sockets (if available).Once the connection is established, RDP interprets RDP commands, optimizes them for the web, and sends the resulting data stream to the RDP Web Client. Security and privacy are

X. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION This circuit is designed to control the load. The load may be motor or any other load. The load is turned ON and OFF through relay. The relay ON and OFF is controlled by the pair of switching transistors (BC 547). The relay is connected in the Q2 transistor collector terminal. A Relay is nothing but electromagnetic switching device which consists of three pins. They are Common, Normally close (NC) and normally open (NO). The relay common pin is connected to supply voltage. The normally open (NO) pin connected to load. When high pulse signal is given to base of the Q1 transistors, the transistor is conducting and shorts the collector and emitter terminal and zero signals is given to base of the Q2 transistor. So the relay is turned OFF state. When low pulse is given to base of transistor Q1 transistor, the transistor is turned OFF. Now 12v is given to base of Q2 transistor so the transistor is conducting and relay is turned ON. Hence the common terminal and NO terminal of relay are shorted. Now load gets the supply voltage through relay. XI. CONCLUSION The application of advanced communication network will improve the saving of many lives by using Quad copter in disaster. The system will consist of quad copter which is equipped with a camera to capture the picture of affected areas and transmit data to the computer. This video is lively telecast in the securable website through IP TV protocol. In this paper, Quad copter will be able to do surveillance by live recording the video and provide security for selected areas.
